When it comes to the digital world, I’ll admit Chris is the true gearhead between us, which is why I leaned on his tech expertise to round up the ultimate gift ideas for techies. We’ve got our hands on the latest and greatest that’ll thrill even the most hardcore gadget fans on your holiday list. From the sleekest tech to revolutionize their day-to-day to those wow-factor pieces that make you say, ‘How did I ever live without this?’ — our top picks are sure to spark joy and maybe a little tech envy.
This smartphone-controlled paper airplane is fit for a child, a teen, or even your grown husband, who would totally geek-out over it.
We have a few of these speakers throughout our home, and the sound quality is so good it’s like we have surround sound installed throughout our entire home.
He’s no fuss, so he’d love this leather charging dock to charge all of his gadgets–Phone, Airpods, watch–while he sleeps, and there’s even a catch-all for keys. It’s going to leave everything looking sharp and organized, which is a win for everyone!
If you know somebody still living in the “dark ages,” gift them this flameless, electric candle lighter, and they’ll be so impressed.
Every tech-obsessed person wants all their devices to be automated with voice control, so they’ll be thrilled to open these smart plugs to help them along.
They are never too old for toys. In fact, if they don’t unbox something to spike their adrenaline, is it even the holidays? This off-road scooter can keep up with their need for speed, whether they’re commuting to the office or taking it for a joy ride. Don’t forget to check the box for $55 off. (Best throw in a helmet).
With this smart moleskin notebook and pen, they can still write and draw on paper, and it digitally copies everything to the app, where they can then share, search, edit, and organize it all. Really incredible! This would be great for the sketchers and doodlers out there.
With this neckband speaker, you can enjoy any movie from home with the experience of surround sound.
Don’t stop at speakers and gadgets!—Gift them this bidet attachment so they can enjoy a spa-like toilet from their very own throne.
How is it that almost every tech guru out there can also solve a Rubik’s cube? Now, with this smart cube, they can improve their game and compete with friends and other cubers across the globe. Check the box to receive $10 off!
This is something that will make both the techie and the homebody very happy.
We’re big fans of all the leather Andar products, especially their AirPods case. The case is so sleek, and if you’re in a house with multiple sets of pods, you won’t ever get them mixed up.
This charging station would also make an excellent gift for a family with a plethora of devices! Pro-tip to parents out there: have your teens check-in their phones at the station during family dinner.
This is the next level up from the Meta Quest 2 and 3 and is supposedly an even more immersive virtual reality experience! (One of our favorite family activities.)
This is the very first health and fitness tracker that can be worn as a ring vs a wristband! Apparently the tracking is more accurate, and the battery life is 4-8 days! I love my Apple Watch, and obviously, it does more than track health metrics, but I take it off every night to charge, so I have no sleeping data. Not with this! The gold is $499, but you can get the black is only $299.
Whether they’re sipping on tea, coffee, or hot cocoa, with this smart mug, they can enjoy it while it’s hot, for as long as they want, right from their desk.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
